UNSPSC 50525803: Non GMO aurora plums

The variety of non GMO plums known as non GMO aurora plums. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50525803 Non GMO aurora plums, a Commodity code, does not show relevant recent state and local procurement activity. The seven most recent opportunities tagged with or proximate to this code span fresh produce procurement broadly—bananas, mixed fresh fruits and vegetables, processed food supplies—but contain no solicitations specifically for aurora plums, GMO or non-GMO. Marion Health Care Coalition sought general produce vendors in August 2026; Madison Metropolitan School District requested petite bananas (July 2026) and fresh fruit and vegetable snacks (July 2026); and three Georgia school districts and the State of Georgia issued food and produce RFPs and IFBs between May and June 2026. None of these opportunities name aurora plums or specify non-GMO varieties as a line item or evaluation criterion. The code appears to be a narrow commodity classification within a broader fresh-produce procurement ecosystem where school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices buy across dozens of fruit and vegetable types and do not consistently isolate single plum varieties or varietal genetics in their solicitation strategy.

School districts dominate the issuing-body mix, with activity concentrated in Georgia and Wisconsin. Hancock County Board of Education (Georgia), Madison Metropolitan School District (Wisconsin), Early County Board of Education (Georgia), and Bartow County School System (Georgia) each issued detailed food and produce solicitations with delivery requirements, HACCP compliance, and Buy American provisions typical of K-12 nutrition programs. Without aurora-plum-specific opportunities in the recent record, firms pursuing this code face a market where state and local buyers acquire fresh plums as part of mixed produce contracts—often subject to seasonal availability, local-sourcing preferences (Bartow County and Madison both require 400-mile sourcing), and pricing tied to commodity indices rather than varietal premiums. The narrow commodity designation suggests low procurement frequency and volume relative to broader fresh-fruit categories.
